Laws: Strikers can fire us to safety
David Nugent's sixth goal since arriving on loan from Portsmouth secured a 1-1 draw against Stoke at Turf Moor.[LNB]The striker got on the end of a superb cross from partner Martin Paterson in the 52nd minute to head home.[LNB]Burnley dominated the second half but had to settle for a point after Tuncay opened the scoring for Stoke.[LNB]It means that while the Clarets move above Hull they remain in the relegation zone.[LNB]Next up are fellow strugglers Wolves at home on Saturday and Laws is quietly confident they can get out of trouble.[LNB]Striker Steven Fletcher could be fit for that match as he recovers from a broken hand while Laws can also call on additional forward players in Steven Thompson and Robbie Blake.[LNB]Laws said: "Nugent's in good form as is Paterson. That gives you great belief. We have goals in us. We just have to keep it tight at the back.[LNB]"Nugent's goal was terrific, it was great ball in by Paterson. It set the tone and I am disappointed we didn't go on and win the game.[LNB]"Everyone expects Burnley not to be in the Premier League next year but we believe it.[LNB]"I will take a lot of things out of the game particularly the second half performance. They bullied us in the first half.[LNB]"The players could have felt sorry for themselves but responded magnificently."[LNB]Stoke manager Tony Pulis could afford a wry smile after Burnley's attempts to curb the threat of Rory Delap's long throws came unstuck.[LNB]The Clarets moved the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch at in the hope of taking the edge of the midfielder's missiles.[LNB]However the ploy failed with Delap launching the ball into the area for Mamdy Sidibe to flick on and Tuncay to head past goalkeeper Brian Jensen.[LNB]Pulis said: "We noticed what they had done as soon as we came out. We get on with it, it is their club, it's their ground.[LNB]"They have to do what they have to do. You take it and get on with it. I don't care where a goal comes from. It is always satisfying scoring.[LNB]"Because he was a javelin thrower as well, Rory has that technique obviously down to a treat."[LNB][LNB] Burnley v Wolves 1st Goalscorer: Nugent, D. 6/1
